Romania's finance minister Alexandru Nazare announced plans for a new public sector wage law that would increase the salary envelope by approximately RON 7.2 billion (4.2% nominal growth) in 2027, a requirement to unlock EUR 700 million in EU funding. The increase comes after public wages were frozen in 2025–2026 while inflation rose over 15%, and roughly half of state employees would benefit under the proposed framework, which would also eliminate most bonuses and incorporate allowances into base salaries.

The creditors of the Romanian bankrupt shipyard Mangalia will meet on Friday, May 22, to vote on a new sale strategy consisting of at least 6 monthly auctions for the sale of the shipyard, starting from the going concern valuation of EUR 168 million, according to Economica.net . The shipyard is supposed to build four ships under a contract worth nearly EUR 1 billion, financed under the EU-backed SAFE scheme envisaged by the Romanian state with the German group Rheinmetall.  This is the second attempt to set the terms of the yard's auction sale. The previous one, on May 8, failed after the main creditor, Damen Holding BV (which holds 69.5% of the total debt), opposed the strategy proposed at that time.

Its doom-doom-doom bass lines, all the splashes of lyrics from the backup singers, and especially vocal percussion strike outsiders as silly.</p><p>But what a cappella lovers love is the magic that the music can spring out of nothing but the gathered singers.
